This adorable appetizer practically screams “party time!” The secret is to form the tiny meatballs, poke a chopstick through them then insert the fry. You can dip these in regular ketchup, mustard, or mayo, but the meatballs have enough interesting flavor that they’re great alone too. Ground beef is mixed with ground turkey for the richness of beef alongside the lightness of turkey, and almond flour is used in lieu of any starches.
